WINE DESCRIPTION
With vineyards perched atop the steep slopes of the Mosel Valley, Dr. Loosen stands as a beacon of high-quality German Riesling. The estate’s Eiswein is a rare and intricate expression of the Riesling grape, crafted from berries left to freeze naturally on the vine, concentrating sugars, acids, and flavors to extraordinary levels. The meticulous selection and pressing process in the freezing cold allows for the creation of a wine that is intensely sweet yet remarkably balanced, capturing the essence of the Riesling grape and the unique terroir of the Mosel.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Dr. Loosen Riesling Eiswein glows with a radiant golden-yellow hue, hinting at its concentrated richness.On the nose, it unfolds a dazzling bouquet of candied citrus peel, ripe apricot, and honey, nuanced by delicate floral overtones and a whisper of minerality. The palate is met with a symphony of sweet nectar, where flavors of tropical fruits, sweet citrus, and honeycomb are balanced impeccably by a vibrant acidity, preventing it from being overly cloying. The finish is persistent and pure, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and honeyed sweetness, underscored by a subtle mineral edge. A superb accompaniment to foie gras, blue cheeses, or decadent desserts, this Eiswein is a testament to the harmony of sweetness and acidity that can be achieved in the hands of a master.
